00:57 mtompset Greetings, #koha.
00:59 zebra?
00:59 wahanui zebra is a fielded free text indexing and retrieval engine with a Z39.50 front-end. You can use any compatible, commercial, or freeware Z39.50 client to access data stored in Zebra. or the search engine koha uses
01:18 mtompset It's been a while. Can anyone refresh my memory on getting zebra to run under a development set up?
01:24 jcamins install.debian?
01:24 wahanui hmmm... install.debian is at git.koha-community.org/gitweb/?p=​koha.git;a=blob;f=INSTALL.debian
01:24 jcamins ^^
01:26 mtompset Oh... the problem isn't indexing. The problem is how search has changed slightly.
01:26 Hmmm... let me try a full title.
01:27 Okay here's the scenario.
01:28 We have "Nan komedselan si takho, maikadwa ay grado."
01:28 That's a full title.
01:28 Search doesn't find it.
01:28 "komedselan" doesn't find it.
01:28 "komedselan*" finds it.
01:30 Any system preferences to check so that "komedselan" would actually find something?
01:30 Nevermind... I think I found it. QueryAutoTruncate.
01:31 mtj hmm, i'm not so good on the searching sysprefs :/
01:31 mtompset Yep, that was it.
01:32 mtj aah, cool :)
01:36 mtompset Oh goodie, the bug that we hit with page numbers is fixed. :)
01:37 home -> cataloguing -> search: {something valid with multiple pages} -> page 2.
01:42 eythian wahanui: what is the saddest thing
01:42 wahanui i heard the saddest thing was http://cooleycooley.blogspot.c[…]iest-unicorn.html
01:42 eythian wahanui: what is the saddest thing is also http://www.twisteddoodles.com/[…]65795/free-kitten
01:42 wahanui bugger all, i dunno, eythian
01:42 eythian wahanui: \what is the saddest thing is also http://www.twisteddoodles.com/[…]65795/free-kitten
01:42 wahanui OK, eythian.
02:04 eythian wahanui:  apparently so is just after fa
02:04 wahanui OK, eythian.
02:42 mtompset so?
02:42 wahanui so is probably a long road.
02:43 mtompset fa?
02:43 wizzyrea do
03:00 mtompset re?
03:00 me?
03:00 wahanui you are disliking the silent warnings flooding his error logs.
03:01 * mtompset smirks.
03:01 mtompset la?
03:01 ti?
03:01 wahanui hmmm... ti is trying to search the machine but it returns an error
03:01 mtompset do?
03:01 wahanui do is just a loop with the condition at the end
03:01 mtompset Greetings, wizzyrea. :)
03:02 wizzyrea hi :)
03:07 dcook http://www.web2learning.net/20[…]-ils-integration/
03:07 Has anyone heard more about progress being made on MarcEdit integrating with the Koha API?
03:07 I remember looking it up a bit a couple months ago, but I had forgotten until now...
03:07 eythian never used marcedit, doesn't support free software platforms.
03:07 dcook O_o
03:07 How do you mean?
03:08 eythian Doesn't work on Linux. Also, no source code.
03:08 dcook Mmmm
03:08 jcamins dcook: it is 100% proprietary, based on .NET.
03:08 dcook Tricksy
03:08 What do you folks use instead?
03:09 jcamins Perl scripts.
03:09 dcook Mmm :/
03:09 A librarian I know wants to do some batch bib changes and MarcEdit seems like the easiest way of making that happen on the user end
03:09 eythian I have a fair library of perl scripts for manipulating marc in nicely reproducable ways
03:10 jcamins dcook: probably.
03:10 dcook Mind you, the Perl scripts would probably be a bit nicer
03:10 From a data management point of view
03:10 Doing a little mod rather than a whole export/import
03:11 eythian yeah
03:11 I've been wanting to write a generic Koha-aware MARC modifying script
03:11 though as soon as you say "generic", it explodes into "needs to be able to do everything"
03:12 dcook True enough
03:12 I suppose it's a tough one :/
03:12 Because one way or another, you need to be loading the information..
03:13 Though, what do you mean by "Koha-aware"?
03:13 So you could just plugin directly to Koha and then go nuts?
03:13 plug in*
03:13 eythian well, just that it ensures that everything is correctly synced
03:13 dcook Side note: Did Galen completely write the Perl MARC modules?
03:13 eythian which just means using Koha's APIs to do stuff.
03:13 I'm not sure
03:14 dcook Mmm, yeah, I've been thinking about doing more with the Koha APIs
03:14 eythian https://gitorious.org/+catalys[…]lbox/trees/master <-- there's stuff in here for doing this kind of manipulation.
03:14 dcook In the past, we were calling all the separate scripts on the backend, but the API just seems so much cleaner
03:14 eythian though it's generally more oriented towards working on marc files.
03:14 jcamins I think the original code was written by Ed Summers.
03:15 mtompset http://people.oregonstate.edu/[…]ml/downloads.html -- There is a Linux link. I'm assuming it uses the Mono project.
03:15 dcook =item * Andy Lester
03:15 =item * Mike O'Regan
03:15 =item * Ed Summers
03:15 =item * Mike Rylander
03:15 =item * Galen Charlton
03:15 Intriguing
03:15 jcamins mtompset: it does, yes, but it hasn't worked well any time I've tried it.
03:15 eythian Last I heard people were trying to make it work in wine.
03:16 with very limited success
03:16 jcamins Basically, it's exactly what you would expect from something written in .NET. If you're using Windows, it's not a problem, otherwise it is.
03:17 dcook :/
03:17 Or rather
03:17 :(
03:17 * jcamins goes to bed.
03:17 dcook night jcamins
03:17 eythian cya
03:18 if I had time, it'd be interesting to see about making a GUI onto the perl libraries
03:18 mtompset Good night, jcamins.
03:18 eythian but, I think I'm generally faster with scripts.
03:19 mtompset When you say GUI you mean Gnome/KDE/Unity/whatever desktop manager windowing system GUI?
03:19 eythian yeah
03:19 wizzyrea I tried to run MARCedit in Wine.
03:19 dcook Mmm
03:20 wizzyrea It was 1. unpleasant
03:20 2. it is the devils software.
03:21 dcook eythian: Scripts are probably faster, but I like to be careful ;)
03:21 * dcook was looking at what toolkits Gnome and KDE use...
03:21 eythian scripts are more careful, too
03:21 because you have all the transformations laid out in front of you all the time
03:21 dcook KDE is Qt..
03:21 mtompset why not a CGI front end, so you can make it browser-based, and desktop manager independent? ;)
03:21 eythian Gnome is GTK+
03:21 dcook Gnome is GTK+
03:21 wahanui i already had it that way, dcook.
03:21 dcook yeah
03:22 mtompset KDE
03:22 KDE?
03:22 wahanui i guess KDE is Qt..
03:22 eythian mtompset: because that's a lot harder for someone to set up and use :)
03:22 mtompset Yes, but assuming they have Koha working on the server, they already have apache2 running.
03:22 dcook eythian: All the transformations laid out in front of you?
03:22 In terms of what's printing on the screen?
03:23 eythian dcook: no, in terms of the MARC being produced
03:23 https://gitorious.org/+catalys[…]ia/dia_liberty.sh <-- for example, a migration I'm working on at the moment, this is the whole transformation from CSV to MARC
03:24 mtompset Well, I think I will follow jcamins' lead and head to bed too.
03:25 eythian later
03:25 mtompset Have a great day (24 hour period) everyone. :)
03:25 dcook I'm not sure that I follow the file, but I see what you're saying now
03:26 eythian I'm not going to teach you how to use it over IRC, but you can read the docs in csvtomarc.pl if you like :)
03:27 dcook Mmm!
03:27 I've read the docs a bit
03:27 Ohhh
03:27 I think I see now
03:28 It's been a little while since I used csvtomarc.pl
03:28 Thanks for the link and suggestion, eythian :)
03:28 eythian++
03:28 eythian no problem
03:29 dcook I really see what you're saying about the transformations now. That's really cool :)
03:33 Yeah, the only downside is that this all has to be done by systems folks
03:34 I guess that's a blessing and a curse
03:34 Mind you, I suppose a savvy tech services librarian could export their data, manipulate it on their own VM, and then reimport...
03:38 eythian yeah, in this case, we do it.
03:38 it's hard to express complex transformations in a GUI
03:46 dcook I imagine.
03:46 * dcook says looking at some of the functions in the migration script
03:58 is curious about how eythian handles transformations of existing marc rather than csvtomarc, but lunch time!
03:59 eythian dcook: it's something I don't have to do very often
03:59 there is a script in that repo to do something like that though
03:59 dcook Oh yeah?
04:00 It's something I haven't really had to deal with much either, but from time to time
04:00 I suppose the rarity makes the whole GUI idea less a priority anyway
04:00 eythian under migration/Generic/biblio_masher.pl
04:01 dcook I wondered when I saw "masher" ;)
04:02 We have some scripts that we already use, but wondered if there was more of an integrated way of doing things.
04:02 Anyway, thanks again eythian. Thanks heaps!
04:02 * dcook wanders off to mash up some food
04:04 * wizzyrea imagines you wielding a potato masher.

12:41 oleonard MS Dynamics Nav ERP?!
12:50 kf Probably something like SAP?
12:50 drojf Microsoft Dynamics NAV is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software product from Microsoft.
12:50 kf probably financial transactions
12:51 drojf not sure how koha is supposed to "integrate" with that.  acquisitions maybe?
12:52 jcamins Storage?
12:52 * jcamins passes through #koha, offers a perplexed suggestion.
12:53 jcamins Data goes into MS Dynamics Nav, gets pointed at by Koha?
12:54 drojf https://upload.wikimedia.org/w[…]2013WebClient.jpg not sure how to put that into MARC ;)
12:55 oleonard Since the "consolidate opac themes" thread has turned into "the future of OPAC templates" I guess we assume that everyone agrees that we should consolidate OPAC themes?
12:58 gaetan_B left #koha
12:59 talljoy joined #koha
13:07 jcamins oleonard: sounds good to me.
13:07 As long as we don't lose the responsive aspects of CCSR, I don't think I even care which theme is chosen.
13:07 The reason I worked on CCSR is that I needed a responsive OPAC theme, and that was my best chance of getting one.

13:10 * druthb shakes her fist at the Kansas state government.
13:11 druthb Curse you, Department of Revenue, and April 15, too!
13:11 jcamins druthb: I'd be shaking my fist at the NYS government, except the amount they're taxing me is so low in comparison I don't really care.
13:12 druthb I'm not shaking my fist *hard* at the KS DoR, either—It's more a nuisance than anything else.
13:12 * jcamins shouts "Khaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan"
13:14 * druthb thinks that jcamins shaking his fist still isn't all that threatening.  "Slim, dapper man shakes fist" just isn't as…erm…overwhelming, as, say, Lord Vader's force-choke.

13:54 tcohen druthb do u think we could integrate the manuals to the main pootle?
13:54 kf oleonard: before I forget - I think the ccsr has translation issues
13:55 oleonard: I was told there were strings in the css files for the mobile view - didn't have time to really test is so far, but maybe something you could keep in mind in the discussion?
13:57 oleonard joined #koha
13:58 oleonard Is 9418 the correct port to unblock if I want to be able to get work done today?
13:59 kf: Whatever we do with the OPAC there will be major overhauls to everything, so I'm not worried about CCSR's issues right now
14:01 druthb tcohen:  I've been thinking about that issue;  I also want to separate the .po from the main Koha repo, and that probably needs to happen first.  I know *how* to push it out as a subproject, but I want to not create headaches for people who are actually using it.
14:05 tcohen joined #koha
14:06 tcohen druthb, you mean using the current manual translation site?
14:06 tcohen joined #koha
14:08 druthb tcohen:  First, I want to take the .po files out of the main Koha git repo, which will shrink the repo rather dramatically, and ship those as a subproject.  *then*, I want to move the manual pages into Pootle, and deal with having the translated manuals in the "translations" repo.
14:09 All that, without making anything any harder on anyone.

14:54 mmm45 how can one Switch TimeFormat to the 12 hour format
14:55 for patch 9014
14:55 apparently time needs to be in the 12 hour format
15:01 kf oleonard: we would probably need to find a way to deprecate the old one first, if we replaced a lot of the structure? so libraries have some time to adjust to the new templates?
15:03 mmm45: it will be possible to do that in 3.12
15:03 switch the dateformat
15:03 there is a system preference called TimeFormat for that

15:57 rambutan As a degreed linguist, I must say that transliteration sucks. For the native speakers/readers of the language, it's typically undecipherable, and requires much the same effort of learning a second language.
15:58 Additionally, there are many "standard" ways of doing translation, and LoC may do it differently than the native speakers of the language would prefer.
15:59 PE, FE KDU GEUK LEL!
16:00 which, of course, a Korean person would look at and say: "What the heck is that" (translated here from the Korean thought to English, of course)

16:09 * chris_n hands rambutan x-chat
16:10 rambutan yea, but I moved off xchat because it doesn't save server/channel connections and it disconnects badly
16:11 chris_n I use bip as a backend for my xchat client
16:11 seems to improve it a bit
16:11 rambutan I loaded a machine with Mint 14 couple of days ago and saw some new clients in the repos, I'll probably check out some of those.

19:09 druthb gmcharlt:  of course you do.  Then move to Texas and tack on a y'all or ten,
19:10 I thought about, for April Fool's this year, doing an en_TX translation of Koha.

19:27 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9534 trivial, P5 - low, ---, liz, Pushed to Master , No way to get back to bib detail from edit record screen
19:38 jcamins Wow. It sure is quiet in here.
19:40 rangi string freeze in 10 days jcamins ?
19:40 jcamins That doesn't seem right.
19:41 Is it already the 20th?
19:41 No.
19:41 It's not.
19:41 May 1.
19:41 oleonard Hi rangi
19:43 mtompset Spelling is a problem with international versions of English. Is there a particular standard preferred in the default EN installation?
19:43 jcamins US.
19:43 oleonard Yeah, because we're pushy that way
19:44 rangi ahh right
19:44 * mtompset chuckles, "Yes, yes you guys are. :P"
19:44 rangi yeah it was NZ english but I was overruled
19:44 :)
19:44 but i just translate it all anyway
19:45 mtompset Out of curiosity, what is the "correct" way to spell catalogue with an -ing on the end?
19:45 oleonard cataloggging
19:45 rangi cataloguing (but in americanese cataloging)
19:45 jcamins Actually, "cataloguing" is acceptable in US English too.
19:46 But "catalogue" is not.
19:46 Go figure.
19:46 druthb "detail-freakin'", in en_TX
19:46 jcamins lol
19:46 * druthb watches the detail-freak^W^Wcataloger laugh
19:46 mtompset Oops... I should have said catalog[ue]. ;)
19:47 Anyone remember the Apple ][? CATALOG was the equivalent of ls. :)
19:50 oleonard We've made much progress since then, excluding the Windows command line.
19:51 AndroUser2 joined #koha
19:53 druthb …and excluding Windows Me.
19:53 oleonard I think you mean Windows[odd]
19:53 druthb lol
19:54 oleonard Sorry, that should have been Windows[even]?
19:54 druthb Even, I think.  Win 7 wasn't too awful.
19:55 jcamins Windows 2000 was better than '95, though.
19:55 And '98
19:56 tcohen i had a fine tuned windowsMe box for a while which worked flawlessly
19:56 rangi i skipped that whole windows fad, didnt miss a thing :)
19:56 druthb I had a decent one, too, that served me well for about three years.
19:57 jcamins tcohen: so you stuck a Windows Me sticker on a computer running Linux?
19:57 tcohen upgraded to Mandrake 6.1
19:57 jcamins Good call.
19:57 tcohen heh
19:57 Mandrake > Debian > Gentoo > Debian > Ubuntu
19:58 rangi Debian > Debian > Gentoo thought wtf is this > Debian > Ubuntu > Debian
19:59 with zx spectrum, and solaris, before that
20:00 oh i had a mac for that year that is best forgotten
20:00 but that was just a really really expensive host for a debian vm
20:01 the best part of that year was going to oleonard's house
20:01 oleonard :)
20:02 rangi and helping nengard move house
20:03 * tcohen still misses Gentoo, just a little
20:03 rangi you can simulate it
20:04 tcohen you mean, keep compiling stuff ?
20:04 rangi jsut install everything with apt-src :)
20:04 tcohen :-D
20:04 u have a point
20:12 * jcamins is not certain that would work.
20:12 jcamins Isn't one of Gentoo's key features the way everything breaks if you don't recompile every single package whenever you want to update anything?
20:15 maximep so not true =)
20:15 jcamins maximep: sorry, that's Arch, isn't it?
20:15 :P
20:15 maximep well
20:15 it's a good idea to run revdep-rebuild to check if something is broken :p
20:16 jcamins Actually, I thought Arch was "everything breaks every time you upgrade anything no matter what."
20:16 maximep after each update :p
20:16 Arch is more, break everything by using alpha versions of everything
20:17 couldn't use any other distro. Love my gentoo :D
20:30 * jcamins ponders eliminating modals.
20:32 jcamins If I eliminate modals, Javascript will be that much less necessary.

21:47 or good phone?
21:47 maybe too late
21:48 tcohen_ cait: is there an official list of standing bugs?
21:52 cait hm
21:52 not a "this must be fixed" one
21:52 or official like that
21:52 but there is of course bugzilla and you can sort by severity
21:52 tcohen_ is "FIXME NOW" a good source ?
21:53 cait is that a saved list?
21:53 let me check
21:53 tcohen_ its blocker+critical
21:54 cait yep a good one
21:54 there are probabyl some major ones too

22:05 cait not really
22:05 we need to replace it with a proper template
22:05 it has been done for the cart already
22:05 but not for the list
22:05 the translation scripts are not made to translate plain text, but html
22:06 tcohen_ i'll take a look

22:42 yet?E
22:45 cait nope
22:46 we use the mta from the server
22:46 i mean the mta
22:46 that is on the server
22:51 tcohen ok, got postfix to send through gmail (from my laptop)
22:56 eythian hi
22:58 tcohen hi eythian

23:01 Dyrcona joined #koha
23:07 eythian If only I knew where to find a QA person to look at bug 9250 ...
23:07 huginn 04Bug http://bugs.koha-community.org[…]w_bug.cgi?id=9250 enhancement, P5 - low, ---, robin, Signed Off , Provide commands to allow handling of SIP servers in the packages
23:13 cait hm it's packaging
23:13 with a sign-off
23:14 wouldn't that be covered by your privileges?
23:14 :)
23:15 eythian well, if you think that's the case, I'll pass it :) it doesn't touch anything outside the package directory
23:16 cait what do you think?
23:16 I am too tired to think :)
23:16 eythian I just passed it :)
23:18 cait someone needs to take a look at all unimarc and sip related patches. hm.
23:18 we clearly have 2 groups there
23:18 tcohen eythian, I'd like to test the packages related docs. Is there a source of up to date data on the koha-create switches usage?
23:19 eythian well, this isn't SIP per se, just some stuff to make it easy to manage from the packages.
23:19 tcohen i had troubles creating instances with an external DB
23:19 eythian tcohen: the man page is probably the best place.
23:19 cait eythian: I know... just talking to myself. we have 2 groups of patches looking a bit stuck right now - unimarc and sip related
23:19 eythian ah right
23:21 tcohen: we run with an external db, basically koha-create --create-db can't work in that case, so you use --request-db, create the db on the server, then use --populate-db to finish it up
23:21 You could also use --use-db.
23:23 tcohen do u belive we could add db related switches to koha-create so all parameters are passed @ command line?
23:24 eythian you also need to have /etc/mysql/koha-common.cnf set up to contain the database host you want to use.
23:24 cait tomorrow?
23:24 wahanui somebody said tomorrow was pizza friday! or the day after today.
23:24 eythian many options already are specifiable.
23:24 cait tomorrow is also a mystical land where 99% of all human productivity, motivation and achievement is stored.
23:24 wahanui okay, cait.
23:25 eythian I'm not averse to having more, although I would tend to recommend that the config files remain the main source.
23:25 It could probably do with more documentation though
23:26 also, it wouldn't be trivial to do safely
23:26 because you don't want to put the mysql password on the command line
23:26 tcohen that's my main concern, i see myself as a power user and strugled to get it working
23:26 (language issues probably)
23:27 eythian I'm not sure if setting up external database servers is documented anywhere.
23:27 tcohen it isnt, but the docs suggest --use-db should be used for that
23:27 i think i'd add the hostname to the koha/passwd file
23:28 eythian no, the docs specifically suggest that you should use the other options :)
23:28 If the database you want to use does not reside on localhost, you can
23:28 use --request-db and --populate-db, see below.
23:29 the hostname is in the mysql config file as it passes that to mysql to connect.
23:29 ah, there is some docs on the wiki about using a separate server, but it is missing a critical step
23:30 it's not generally a requirement to use the passwd file
23:31 that said, it might be worth putting in there too optionally.
23:32 tcohen i don't have an opinion on the best approach, its just that it wasn't easy as it should have been
23:32 maybe mixed docs
23:33 incomplete docs, etc
23:33 eythian yeah, the docs need a cleanup
23:34 tcohen having db switches in koha-create would make it scriptable, thuo
23:34 eythian yeah
23:35 dcook joined #koha
23:35 tcohen I did a 38 instances test install, that's the whole thing
23:35 have my librarians testing 3.12
23:35 eythian nice
23:37 so at the moment it pulls the hostname from the /etc/mysql/koha-common.cnf file, and also uses that to connect mysql to the db in localhost setups. So having options that created a temp mysql .cnf file that was used instead might work.
23:37 probably the easiest method, anyway.
23:38 tcohen yes, for the not-already-created-db scenario
23:39 so, --create-db and --request-db is for non-existent db's. And --use-db for using an already created DB
23:40 eythian I am thinking that it might not be necessary to write out the temp file though. Might be enough to add command line options to the mysql calls.
23:40 that's right, yeah
23:41 tcohen exactly
23:41 if we added hostname to the passwd file that use case would be covered
23:42 (--use-db)
23:43 eythian yeah, though if you're doing that, it's worth adding a command line option too. Many people don't use the passwd file.
23:44 tcohen eythian: if we had all that option combinations clearly documented, we could have a bash-completion file too :-D
23:44 eythian that'd be good :)
23:44 tcohen its a pity we live in different timezones
23:46 eythian well, it's been suggested that everyone move to NZ, but apparently some people weren't so keen on the idea for some reason.
